Cavern II Mod — Guide
Dimensions & Portals
To enter the dimensions of Cavern II, players must construct a portal frame and use a specific trigger item. Frames can be made of Mossy Cobblestone or Mossy Stone Bricks, with a minimum size of 4x5 and a maximum of 23x23.
Primary Dimensions
| Dimension | Trigger Item | Required Rank | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cavern | Emerald | Beginner | A standard cave dimension with infinite tunnels and vanilla-like generation. |
| Huge Cavern | Diamond | Iron Miner | A massive, open-air cave system where ores are easily visible on the surface. |
| Aqua Cavern | Aquamarine | Aqua Miner | A completely flooded dimension. Requires water-breathing gear or Aquamarine tools. |
Mirage Worlds
Mirage Worlds are specialized dimensions accessed by using a Mirage Book on a portal frame. These books are found in Mirage Libraries located within the standard Cavern dimension (typically between Y:24 and Y:30).
- Caveland: A lush, forest-like cave dimension filled with flora like Acresia plants. It resembles a surface world trapped underground.
- Cavenia: A combat-focused dimension that serves as a nest for Cavenic monsters. It features a unique Hunting Rank system.
- Frozen Mountains: A cold, mountainous cave world covered in ice and snow.
- Wide Desert: An expansive, sandy cavern system.
- The Void: A dark, empty dimension for advanced players.
- Dark Forest: A dense, shadowy forest cavern.
Mining Rank & Mechanics
The core progression of Cavern II is the Mining Rank. As you mine ores in any Cavern dimension, you accumulate Mining Points.
Mining Ranks
- Beginner: Starting rank. Access to the basic Cavern.
- Iron Miner (100 pts): Unlocks the Huge Cavern and the Mining Assist ability.
- Aqua Miner (300 pts): Unlocks the Aqua Cavern and allows for easier movement/mining in water.
- Gold Miner: Increased efficiency and bonus rewards.
- Diamond Miner: Maximum efficiency and access to top-tier rewards.
Mining Assist
Unlocked at the Iron Miner rank, Mining Assist allows you to mine multiple blocks at once. You can toggle this ability and switch modes using the V key (default). * Normal: Standard mining. * Vein: Mines all connected ores of the same type. * Under: Mines blocks in a vertical line downwards.
Mining Combo & Criticals
- Mining Combo: Mining blocks in quick succession builds a combo meter, granting bonus points and temporary speed buffs.
- Critical Mining: There is a random chance to trigger a "Critical Mine," which yields significantly more drops from a single ore block.
